Wit, after all, is the unfailing symptom of intelligence.

Here dead lie we because we did not choose to live and shame the land from which we sprung. Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose; but young men think it is, and we were young.

A.E. Housman

Just as the police review their operational tactics, so we in the Home Office will review the powers available to the police.

Theresa May

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.... rust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Mary Schmich

What torments of grief you endured, from evils that never arrived

Ralph Waldo Emerson

He who dares not (reason), is a slave.

Blaise Pascal

With While You Were Sleeping, it was so much fun and such a Cinderella story, that I didn't want to do another romantic comedy. I wanted to do the opposite.

Bill Pullman

With audacity one can undertake anything, but not do everything.

Napoleon Bonaparte

When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird.

Minna Antrim

To deal with things knowledge of things is needed. To deal withpeople, you need insight, sympathy. To deal with yourself, you neednothing. Be what you are--conscious being--and don't stray away fromyourself.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

God will answer you prayers better than you think. Of course, one will not always get exactly what he has asked for....We all have sorrows and disappointments, but one must never forget that, if commended to God, they will issue in good....His own solution is far better than any we could conceive.

Fanny J. Crosby

Change is not only likely, it's inevitable.
